Re: emacsclient on WXP does not work (as it used to)

[dhruva]

Recipe for reproducing the problem:

1. Start emacs with server
2. Use emacsclient to open a file (with -n option not to wait)
3. Start another emacs with server
4. Use emacsclient as in #2 (it will open in emacs on #3 for me)
5. Kill emacs started in #3
6. Use emacsclient and you get the error!
